Many passengers seem to be going to interesting places or restaurants, but I always miss the names or addresses.
The contestants determine the location that the Cash Cab is driving to. However the pickup itself is not random...What happens is, the producers of the show go to local events like trivia nights at bars, and they say they are recruiting for a show about Places people like to go in NYC , or something like that. That s the cover story, since they want it to be a surprise.But the contestants need to agree to be on a show, since they have to sign release forms.So the producers ask prospective contestants about where they like to go in New York, then they send a cab to pick them up and take them there, then SURPRISE! It s the Cash Cab.So the place the Cash Cab is going is the place that the people chosen for the show have stated as a place that they like to go often.They ve recruited twice from the trivia night that I go to - but by now maybe they re using a different cover story...
Dubious. Google doesn t seem to have a list; plus most people on the show are probably going to what are just mundane, relatively unremarkable places like certain bars, restaurants, or someone s home. However, off the top of my head I can think of some places where the cab has stopped:Museum of Natural HistoryChelsea PiersStrand Bookstore (12th Broadway)Webster HallPATH station on 9th St.Woolworth BuildingWorld Financial CenterBlarney Stone (?)Of course, you ll see other interesting spots along the way. In past episodes they ve passed the big 9 outside the Solow Building, Times Square, Tiles for America, the Metronome, Grand Central Terminal, etc.
